"Holy Moses!!!" were the words that came out of Dr. Winston's lips as he entered the main research facility. "What in the name of Zechariah happened here? Why are all the dead bodies we brought from Egypt scattered all over the facility?" Dr. Murray couldn't give a single answer to his questions, not because there wasn't answers but because she was extremely shocked and surprised at what occurred right before her eyes in the last five minutes. Dr. Winston could see as she was visibly shaken. "Shit!!! This is what happens when you are overly courageous, I rushed with the rest of the translations so you wouldn't even voice the first one out but, it has happened already. Now Director Dr. Murray, are you ready for another banger?" Dr. Murray even at this point couldn't speak but shows surprise "How can this man be so lively and jovial even after these occurrences? He speaks as if he knows what must've happened here and yet he tries to make fun of everything, this one discovery has led to the deaths of so many junior colleagues doesn't he care for their lives or even their families?" as if Dr. Winston Read her thoughts he continued " pardon my manners Doctor but I'm sorry this is best they can do and for their worst, this script in my hands talks about a prophecy that scares me to death hence why I'm unstable. It talks about some "Khamunra" that betrayed the kingdom of Egypt about 6900 years ago. He had wanted to destroy the king and make himself king." If she hadn't seen what has happened Dr. Murray would've dismissed his story as a mere folklore, but with what she'd witnessed, everything is believable. " But the problem here is that not only does he want to be king over Egypt, he also wants to be a god on earth, he wants the whole earth to bow to him and this he has sworn in that every knee that fails to bow before him he'd destroy, I only know of name that every knee must bow to which is Jesus every ...." "Spare me your religious bullshit and continue with your translations "Dr. Murray barked now with more of anger than fear, angry at what Khamunrah did to her colleagues angry at what he plans to do to the entire earth, she knows if there's any connection between the real world and myth it's archaeology. " Sorry.... So it was in the process that the Pharaoh at his time Assadinis sacrificed everyone in the Palace and drained all force of life from them into that crystal, the only one that escaped was the chief priest who made it incumbent upon himself to guard the crystal with his life that no one tampers with it until the time of the fulfilment of prophecy." "And what is the prophecy?" "The prophecy has not been written here but the scroll points to a place called the city of light inside Egypt, it is a place that can only be accessed through a spiritual journey, it is a hidden city that requires a map to know the doorway and only one person can enter, it can only be entered when the moon is at crescent and if you are alive by full moon you'll be ejected only real spirits stay there for more than one crescent." Dr Murray was baffled and confused, for a lady fear was not a feeling in her dictionary but thoughts of this recent development sent chills down her spine. " One more thing Doctor, it's now your task to go and find the prophecy and fulfill it, for the last line in the scrolls we unearthed says that anyone that breaks the Pharaoh 's spell must find the prophecy, because only then can Khamunrah be stopped, negligence to follow through attracts mysterious sicknesses resulting to mysterious deaths to all loved ones, the only sacrifice is that the person who reverses the spell is able to find the city of light." She began to laugh hysterically, "You are kidding right? Dr. Winston you of all people should know that this is not a time for joke" she knows he wasn't joking deep down, but she wished he was and unfortunately he shook his head no.
Dr. Murray Got into her car and went home pondering on what to do about the latest development, knowing fully well that doing the task or net is a potential suicide plan. She took her bath and went to bed after a cup of coffee, she couldn't eat or watch the news or movie, she's already watched a movie of a lifetime.
"You dare tamper with the, curse of the Pharaoh ? Who do you think you are, you think your petty technology and weapons are going to do anything to me? I am Khamunrah, I am indestructible, and thought I had been chained like a dog once, I'll never be chained again." Dr. Murray woke up in the middle of the night startled, for someone who has never believed in spiritual things, this new experience is becoming hard to take in, but it goes in due to the reality of the occurrences.
Just then her phone rang, " Dr Murray you need to come up here and see something for yourself" worried Dr. Murray asked " can't I have a good rest again? Dr Winston what is it?" "Just come over" was the reply, "this is beyond phone call" " then the phone was hung up.
Dr. Murray drove in her car to the facility, throughout the drive the phrase "Khamunrah has returned" echoed, not in her thoughts but in reality, it has become a nightmare that was haunting her.
"Why is it that since I got into Egypt I can't be at peace, I narrowly escaped being crushed by a collapsing building, my colleagues were sucked of their lives, I can't have a proper dream, now I can't even sleep again? I don't know...….. Holy mother of..." she was caught short while complaining when she saw those bodies that were mummified earlier on walking as zombies, walking slowly but with dangerous precision. " What in the name of hell is this?" "These are our colleagues and another bad news, Wallace was bitten by one and has escaped the building, Dr. Murray something has to be done and it has to be done really fast and as the hieroglyphs pointed out, you are the only person in position to make this spiritual journey, I've been telling you that this world is controlled by forces far beyond our comprehension it'd best if you start believing in some things that are more real than what you see." Dr. Winston advised.
Dr. Murray didn't have another choice, she was one that believed in adventures, but this is a more life threatening adventure. What should she do, whether she goes or not she's going to die.
